My first daughter came here and 6 years later we’re back! Activities are child-led, mess is allowed, imagination, curiosity and creativity are encouraged. I have the utmost trust in the creative and highly experienced team who oversees activities/staff. There is a large garden where they can pull each
other along in a cart, chalk, play in the sandpit/shops/Wendy house, and garden, see the pets, and use the climbing frame (which develops physical skills, confidence and muscles to write with!). It’s much more than a nursery, lead staff are concerned to build a caring community with parents encouraged to form a Parent Teacher Friends Association. (I have made lifelong friendships). They run classes to educate/advise parents too, Eg. Digital Parenting, Parenting with an Educational Psychologist and music therapy sessions. A lot of staff remain 10 years +. Children thrive, staff follow the early year's syllabus but it’s not ‘school-ified’: Learning occurs organically through natural play/curiosity.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.0 (7.955) out of 10 for Balham Nursery School & Children's Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.455 for Balham Nursery School & Children's Centre is calculated as follows: ( (5 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 11 Ratings = 4.455

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 3.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Balham Nursery School & Children's Centre is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 = 3

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 10 number of registered child places is 2. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 2 = 0.5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
